Chapter 139 Curry Seafood Hot Pot
The rice slowly expands in the steamer, becoming crystal clear and soft under the action of steam; the yellowish-brown curry in the big pot on the stove gurgles and bubbles, and the spicy and fresh aroma fills the room.
The large iron wok was scalding hot, and cool oil was poured in with a sizzling sound, moistening the bottom. Then, scallions and ginger were sautéed until fragrant, and various prepared seafood were poured into the wok. Stir-frying under the high heat, some of them turned from green to red, some from transparent to pure white, and some of their tightly closed shells slowly opened...
The curry broth, along with the tender sweet potatoes and carrots, was ladled into the wok with a large spoon and mixed with the stir-fried seafood. The fresh aroma of the seafood was wrapped in the thick, yellow-brown liquid, blending into a more alluring and unique aroma.
“The food is served!”
The curry seafood pot was served on the diner's table with a plate of rice. Jericho took away 5 silver coins and let the diner enjoy his delicious food.
"Wow, a pot like this with a bowl of rice costs 5 silver coins!" The people next to him were shocked.
"It's a bit pricey, yes. But if you want to eat at the Dream Garden Restaurant in the capital, you'll have to shell out dozens or even hundreds of gold coins! The problem is, reservations are already booked until next year, so even if you have the money, you can't eat there!"
"Hey, thinking about it this way makes me feel much better!"
The delicious prawns, vibrant red, have been meticulously shelled. Diners pick them up with chopsticks, dip them repeatedly in the tan curry sauce, and then take a bite. The rich aroma of prawn roe and the slightly spicy flavor of coconut milk waft through your mouth, nose, and crown, leaving you staring with delight and exclaiming in delight.
At this point, scoop a spoonful of curry onto the white rice, stir it, and put it in your mouth. You can feel the perfect sweetness. The spiciness is neutralized by the rice, and it is no longer aggressive, but rather soft and appetizing.
Large, plump clams, tender and chewy squid rings, and thick, chewy abalone... Eston West City is a bit far from the sea, but it's at this brewery that people can enjoy seafood at relatively low prices. The curry seafood hotpot may seem expensive, but it's actually the lowest price for curry dishes. After all, the purchase price of spices is so high that no business can afford to lose money.
Thinking of this, the diner felt a little more relaxed. He ate until he was sweating profusely. He picked up the glass of Witch Beer and drank half of it. Then he let out a long breath, "Great! So great!"
Seeing this, the crowd around them could no longer suppress their cravings and began placing orders. Many familiar customers even pooled their money to order a whole pot, adding a few extra bowls of rice. Splitting the bill evenly, each person's expenses were significantly reduced.
After Jiangyou hummed a few more pots, Naxia, who had been watching for a long time, began her own experiment. After so much time cooking in the workshop, Naxia's cooking skills had improved significantly, and she was now proficient in all the basic techniques. Jiangyou felt that if this world could display level and experience progress bars, Naxia's cooking skills would have reached a very high level.
Nasha succeeded in replicating the artifact after only two attempts, so Takumi happily handed the job to her, and went to the basement to sort out the evidence, books and notes related to Mi You so that Andre could check them at night.
I wonder if after Mi You's death, the mastermind has lost interest in everything in this workshop. Even though Jiang You has been away from home for so long, these evidences have been well hidden in the basement, untouched... Or perhaps, the mastermind and his men have completely left the city?
Takumi carefully put all the evidence into a large box and locked the basement door. After doing all this, she went to the next door for a walk.
Xiaolong had indeed been diligent during this period, and the ruins next door had completely transformed into a silver-blue "iceberg." However, it would require the meticulous processing of craftsmen to transform this currently oddly shaped, jagged ore into a transparent, thin, glass-like greenhouse shell.
Jiangyou walked around the land of the new store, then returned to the workshop and wrote furiously behind the counter, writing a letter to the Troll Engineering Team informing them that they could come and start work.
After finishing the letter, Jiangyou summoned Xiaoniangao and stuffed the letter into the mailbox on her bird-bone claws, and stuffed her with a soul fire as a reward. Xiaoniangao gently pecked Jiangyou's finger bones, chirped happily, and flew out the window towards the troll's tribe.
After finishing the two things that had been lingering on his mind, Jiang You slowly exhaled: "Well, the rest of the matter, we'll deal with it after Andre comes back..."
-------
At this moment, Andre was busy in the City Lord's Mansion.
Too many people had died in this mansion, and although the crime scene had been cleaned up, neither Andrei nor Jiangyou had any desire to live there. So Andrei had previously ordered the Shadow Army to collect all the evidence from the mansion, examine it, and then hand it over to His Majesty the King.
All the valuable items in the City Lord's Mansion were inspected and appraised, and a detailed list was made. All the items that His Majesty the King thought could be used were sent to the royal capital. The rest were "rewards" for Andre, the new Viscount.
Andrei wasn't particularly fond of these luxurious items, let alone those belonging to a deceased person. As soon as he got them, he used his connections to sell them to a merchant. He used the money to buy a lot of sleeping bags, blankets, and clothing, all of which he distributed to the veterans.
The ballroom, dining room, and meeting hall in the City Lord's Mansion had been emptied out, leaving them completely bare and empty, perfect for temporary accommodation for the veterans and their families. Of course, this was only a short-term transition; once the various factories, workshops, and small shops and food stalls were built, the veterans and their families would be dispatched to various locations.
As for those strong new knights, they have now entered the military camp with Andre's order and taken up their posts.
The Kingdom Knights, originally belonging to Baron Neumann, had been completely disbanded and reorganized into the new order. There weren't even three familiar members in a squad. This would break up the small groups within the old order, forcing those troublemakers to quickly surrender after losing their backing.
Andrei needs this knight order to be the most reliable sword in his hand, and he will naturally not keep anyone who is not trustworthy.
The leader of the Knights, who was elusive, went fishing three days out of seven, took two days off, and only worked for an hour each of the remaining two days, and did nothing serious, agreed to the plan of early "retirement" after Andre's "friendly" persuasion. He took the "pension" given by Andre, carried his fishing rod and bag, and happily returned to his hometown.
Andrei himself assumed the vacant position of Knight Commander, while the highest-ranking of the newly arrived Hundred Warriors took over as Deputy Knight Commander. However, whether this man could handle the job depended on his future performance.
